Liverpool are ready to make a £10million bid for Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette at the end of the season.

As Metro reported last week, the Reds have been tracking highly-rated Lacazette for most of the campaign, with the France international enjoying his best season yet in front of goal.

And after several promising scouting missions, manager Brendan Rodgers is set to put his money where his mouth is with a cash offer in the summer.

According to reports in France, Liverpool will offer about £10million for the frontman – and hope that with the Ligue 1 club’s financial problems that they’ll be open to doing business.

Lacazette, who is also a target for Arsenal and Tottenham, has previously made no secret of his interest in playing in the Premier League, with a transfer likely to boost his chances of becoming a regular in the France side.

A fast, strong and agile forward, Lacazette can play as a lone striker or on the wing, meaning he would add versatility to Liverpool’s attacking options.
